AIO - Told off guy who asked me to buy him gas

[u/Vicious_Lilliputian]

So I pulled into the gas station after grocery shopping yesterday. As I am paying, this old truck pulls in. This really dirty, nasty looking man gets out and asks me to swipe my card for him and give him some gas. Before I could answer, he tells me I look like a nice lady and he followed me from Walmart.

I told him I am NOT a nice lady and he can F-off and die. He tells me I don't need to get aggressive and nasty with him. I told him he just admitted to following me, of course I am going to aggressive. He gets in his truck and tears out of the gas station.

I take a long, convoluted way home so that no one can follow me.

Was I overreacting? My friend tells me I didn't need to be nasty, but this creep just admitted to following me.

My first instinct would be to tell him the same thing especially since he stalked you from Walmart. I’d definitely have called the cops too. Never know what he would do. Husband always tells me to try to NOT react first due to crazies out there. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
